  • working fluid e.g., steam
  • the nozzle (or, airfoil) construction is typically called a “diaphragm” or “nozzle assembly” stage.
  • Nozzle assemblies are assembled in two halves around the rotor, creating a horizontal joint. At the horizontal joint are packings which prevent steam leakage across the rotor.
  • VCPPP variable clearance positive pressure packings
  • two separate key designs are used for the upper and lower half. These packings use pressure to activate the location of the seals during operation, from an open radial position to a closed radial position. Because these packings move radially as a function of steam load, a key is used for the lower half packings to keep the left and right packing segments from dropping into the middle packing segment and preventing the packing segments from closing properly.
  • a key for the VCPPP design serves two purposes: (1) to retain the packing segments; and (2) to allow for motion of the packing in the radial direction.

  • VCPPP packing segments e.g., VCPPP packing segments
  • One conventional configuration uses a packing bolt which secures the packing by penetrating the packing to hold it in place.
